This role is responsible for transforming complex subsurface datasets into high-quality static geological models using industry-leading geoscience software, including Schlumberger Petrel. The ideal candidate will have experience working with subsurface data integration, geological interpretation, reservoir modeling workflows, and data quality validation. This position offers the opportunity to collaborate with geologists, engineers, analysts, and technical leaders supporting asset evaluation, volumetric analysis, and strategic resource development. Key Responsibilities Compile, organize, validate, and integrate subsurface datasets into Petrel projects, including well data, directional surveys, formation tops, fault interpretations, mudlogs, and geological inputs. Develop and maintain integrated 3D static geological models across multiple acreage areas using Petrel or comparable subsurface modeling platforms. Build geological frameworks and rock property models that accurately represent reservoir architecture, stratigraphic relationships, structural interpretation, and reservoir heterogeneity. Perform quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) reviews of geological data, model inputs, and final model outputs. Integrate well control data, geological interpretations, and subsurface datasets into project-ready models supporting technical evaluations. Prepare geological model deliverables used for volumetric calculations, reservoir characterization, and development planning. Document modeling assumptions, workflows, data sources, methodologies, and limitations to support repeatability and future updates. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including geologists, reservoir engineers, data analysts, and natural resources professionals. Support ongoing improvements to subsurface workflows, data management practices, and technical evaluation processes. Perform additional technical duties as needed to support subsurface analysis and asset evaluation initiatives. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Geology, Geoscience, Geological Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, or a related technical field. Experience with Petrel or comparable geological interpretation and modeling software. Understanding of subsurface data integration, stratigraphic interpretation, structural interpretation, and reservoir characterization concepts. Ability to organize, analyze, and interpret large volumes of geological and well-related datasets. Strong attention to detail with the ability to validate technical data and produce accurate geological models. Equivalent combinations of education, training, and relevant professional experience may be considered. Preferred Qualifications Experience developing static geological models for conventional or unconventional reservoirs. Familiarity with reservoir modeling workflows, volumetric calculations, and subsurface evaluation processes. Knowledge of well data management, formation tops, directional surveys, mudlog interpretation, and fault modeling. Experience supporting reserves evaluation, asset development planning, or technical subsurface studies. Familiarity with Permian Basin geology and stratigraphy is a plus. Experience working with multidisciplinary energy teams and technical stakeholders. Knowledge, Skills & Abilities Strong understanding of geological modeling workflows and subsurface interpretation practices. Proficiency with Petrel geologic modeling tools and 3D reservoir modeling concepts. Ability to integrate multiple subsurface data sources into cohesive geological frameworks. Knowledge of reservoir heterogeneity, rock property modeling, and geological uncertainty. Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify data inconsistencies and improve model quality. Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across technical teams. Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple technical deliverables. Work Environment This position is performed in a professional office environment with hybrid flexibility. The role requires regular computer-based work using specialized geological software and may occasionally require evening or weekend hours to support business needs. We are committed to building a collaborative environment where technical expertise, innovation, and continuous improvement are valued. This is an opportunity to contribute to meaningful subsurface modeling projects while working alongside experienced professionals in geology, engineering, and resource evaluation. #ALINE3
